Description:

Scaling Pop Growth

This mod adds a planetary deposit that adjusts pop growth depending on the amount of pops on a planet. It was inspired by Carrying Capacity by starchitec.
The deposit works in the following ways:

For Organics:
-Every pop on a planet increases growth by an exponent of 1.01, leading to a dramatic growth curve (up to 245 pops affect it)
-If no housing is left, a huge emigration push modifier is added

For Robots:
-A roboticist job is added for every 25 robotic pops, up to a maximum of 16
-If no housing is left, robots cease assembling

For Machines:
-A replicator job is added for every 25 pops (no cap)
-A stacking 10% multiplicative bonus to pop assembly, capping at 70% Note: This keeps the growth (somewhat) matched to organic growth
-If no housing is left, robots cease assembling

Emigration:
1: Emigration can reduce pop growth by 99.99%
2: Immigration potential increased to 15, from default 5

Compatibility Notes

❶This mod should be compatible with almost any mod, however the Defines file is touched at the following lines:
MAX_GROWTH_FROM_IMMIGRATION
MAX_GROWTH_PENALTY_FROM_EMIGRATION
Mods that touch these lines will not necessarily be incompatible, but one mod will overwrite the other at these lines.

Carrying Capacity by starchitec would technically work with this mod, but to chaotic effect that I could not recommend- but hey, the things we do for science.

Planetary Diversity by Gatekeeper does work with this mod, but please note that unlike standard worlds (i.e. Continental), the modifier will not be present on game start. Progressing the game 1 month will result in the modifier appearing correctly.

Regarding 3.0, Patch ‘D-i-c-k’

A function has been added to the game that automatically adjusts growth values based on available housing. This can affect the function of this mod. As a result, I warn readers that this mod may be subject to changes in an effort to better compensate and work around this new effect. -04/18/2021

A very helpful mod to help mitigate pop management, as well as help brainless AI utilize their pops properly.
